Bibliography and references

  • The book SYNCHRONIZATION AND LINEARITY: An Algebra for Discrete Event Systems can be downloaded for free. The Scilab toolbox is based on this book.

  • NSP or ScicosLab Homepage of the official Scilab fork developed by some of the researchers who originally developed Scilab at INRIA and ENPC. This version contains a Max-Plus toolbox. Inside NSP or ScicosLab you can run the Max-Plus demonstration. Go to the Demos menu and select Maxplus demos. A pdf tutorial is available here explaining the demo. For the help of Max-Plus functions type help and click on the Maxplus link. Note that the newer version of ScicosLab is named Nsp but does not contain directly the Max-Plus toolbox.

  • Stéphane Gaubert webpage in which you can find the C code source of the Howard algorithm (general "maximal circuit mean" problem, in directed graphs). You can watch his video, in French, introducing the (max,+) algebra and petri nets.

  • Jean-Pierre Quadrat Many English and French PDF documents about (max,+) algebra with applications can be found.

  • Jarosław Stańczyk gives a Matlab version (and/or GNU Octave) including a good introduction document to the Max-Plus algebra, modeling, analysis and control of Discrete Event Systems. His toolbox is available at this link I also made a fork of it.

  • Giggle Liu An other Julia package for (max,+).
